    I'm not sure where "Susam" hails from, but, here in the #UK, up until about 1970 a million million was a #billion and a thousand million was pronounced as such. The conflict arose between 10^12 and 10^9 with 1970s' inflation leading to more people (mainly politicians and journalists) wanting to talk about 10^9 and a fad for 'speaking in American' and so #milliard (which had faded maybe a decade or so earlier) was replaced by (the patently wrong) American 'billion' usage. #numbers

  4. This is a million:
    1.000.000

    This is a thousand million / A milliard:
    1.000.000.000

    And this is a billion:
    1.000.000.000.000

    How about we start naming numbers correctly again?

    Ursula von der Leyen used the word left me wondering if she was talking about real billions or milliards. If we don't use the crappy imperial system who also shouldn't go along with this shit.

  6. @timrichards @blogdiva But the British term for 10^9 was #Milliard. What red-blooded American could have put up with that? I would have been happy with the use of Giga- as the root for, say, #Gigillion (preferably pronounced like #Gajillion).

  7. @worthuelse @gigabecquerel my son never learned milliard in his British school, it’s been out of use since 1974 according to this article:

    Thankfully we were away of this difference in naming the numbers when we moved to Germany when he was 12.

  8. Då har eg offisielt bikka milliarden! Klokka 11:36:40 skjedde det. Eg ble født fyrste joledag 1991.

    Neste gong du høyrar om ein milliardær, så kan du hugse at det tok meg nesten 32 år å leve ein milliard sekund.

    Hadde eg fått 2 603 kronar* for kvart av dei sekunda eg har levd, så hadde eg hatt omtrent like mykje peng som #ElonMusk.

    * 2023-kronar, ingen inflasjon eller rentar.
